Justification:Registered company number: 02150590. Last known directors: Hana Paul Jon, Adnan Talib Hashim Al-Amiri, Dr. Safa Hadi Jawad Al-Habobi. Last known shareholders: 99 ordinary shares: Al-Arabi Trading Co. Ltd., 1 ordinary share: Dr. Al-Habobi. TDG Ltd is a UK registered company incorporated in 1987, owned by Al-Arabi Trading Co., a company incorporated in Iraq. The most recent Annual Return held at the UKs Companies House in relation to TDG Ltd. shows that the Al-Arabi Trading Company had a 99 % shareholding in TDG in April 2002. Al-Arabi Trading Company was listed [see SSID 70-3000 above], on 26 April 2004, by the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1518 (2003) as an entity identified pursuant to paragraph 23(b) of resolution 1483 (2003). T.M.G. Engineering Ltd. [an entity listed below under SSID 70-3037] is a UK registered company almost wholly owned by TDG Ltd. It therefore appears that T.M.G. Engineering Ltd is effectively a subsidiary of Al-Arabi Trading Co. Through its subsidiary T.M.G. Engineering Ltd., TDG Ltd. had a large stake in the Matrix Churchill group of companies, known to have played a key role in Iraqs military industrialization procurement efforts in the 1980s. T.M.G. Shareholders Echosabre Ltd. and Admincheck Ltd. were part of the Matrix Churchill group.

Justification:Major-General and Commander of the Western Military Region for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).

Justification:The Panel of Experts report that Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan stated to them that he had direct operational command (primarily tactical command) of all elements of the SAF in Darfur while he was in command of the Western Military Region. Elhassan held this position as Western Military Area Commander from Nov 2004 (approx.) to early 2006. The Panel's information is that Elhassan was responsible for violations of paragraph 7 of SCR 1591 as by virtue of this position he requested (from Khartoum) and authorized (since 29 Mar 2005) the transfer of military equipment into Darfur without the prior approval of the 1591 Committee. Elhassan himself admitted to the Panel of Experts that aircraft, aircraft engines and other military equipment had been brought into Darfur from other parts of Sudan between 29 Mar 2005 and Dec 2005. For example he informed the Panel that 2 Mi-24 attack helicopters were brought unauthorized into Darfur between 18 and 21 Sep 2005. There are also reasonable grounds to believe that Elhassan was directly responsible, as Western Military Area Commander, for authorizing offensive military flights in the area around Abu Hamra, 23-24 Jul 2005 and in the Jebel Moon area of Western Darfur, on 19 Nov 2005. Mi-24 attack helicopters were involved in both operations and reportedly opened fire on both occasions. The Panel of Experts report that Elhassan indicated to the Panel that he himself approved requests for air support and other air operations in his capacity as Western Military Area Commander. (See Panel of Experts report, S/2006/65, paragraphs 266-269.) Through such actions Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan has breached relevant provisions of SCR 1591 and therefore meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.

INTERPOL-UN Security Council Special Notice

Justification:Formerly member of the National Assembly of Sudan from Al-Waha district

Justification:Formerly special adviser to the Ministry of Federal Affairs

Justification:Paramount Chief of the Mahamid Tribe in North Darfur

Justification:Report from Human Rights Watch states they have a memo dated 13 Feb 2004 from a local government office in North Darfur ordering "security units in the locality" to "allow the activities of the mujahideen and the volunteers under the command of the Sheikh Musa Hilal to proceed in the areas of [North Darfur] and to secure their vital needs". On 28 Sep 2005, 400 Arab militia attacked the villages of Aro Sharrow (including its IDP camp), Acho, and Gozmena in West Darfur. We also believe that Musa Hilal was present during the attack on Aro Sharrow IDP camp: his son had been killed during the SLA attack on Shareia, so he was now involved in a personal blood feud. There are reasonable grounds to believe that as the Paramount Chief he had direct responsibility for these actions and is responsible for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and other atrocities

Justification:SLA soldiers under the command of Adam Yacub Shant violated the cease-fire agreement by attacking a Government of Sudan military contingent that was escorting a convoy of trucks near Abu Hamra, Northern Darfur on Jul 23, 2005, killing three soldiers. After the attack Government military weapons and ammunition were looted. The Panel of Experts has information establishing that the attack by SLA soldiers took place and was clearly organized; consequently it was well planned. It is therefore reasonable to assume, as the Panel concluded, that Shant, as the confirmed SLA Commander in the area, must have had knowledge of and approved or ordered the attack. He therefore bears direct responsibility for the attack and meets the criteria for being listed.

Justification:National Movement for Reform and Development (NMRD) Field Commander

Justification:Mayu is responsible for the kidnapping of African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) personnel in Darfur during Oct 2005. Mayu openly attempts to thwart the AMIS mission through intimidation; for example he threatened to shoot down African Union (AU) helicopters in the Jebel Moon area in Nov 2005. Through such actions Mayu has clearly violated SCR 1591 in constituting a threat to stability in Darfur and meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions
